The small Byzantine church of the Soter (Christ the Saviour) stands
on modern Egnatia Street in Thessaloniki, to the west of the arch
of Galerius. Its name is preserved from the Ottoman period in the
oral tradition alone. Tradition also provides the information that
the people of Thessaloniki, particularly families who had lost
children, used to baptise their infants in the small church and
give the child the name of the Soter invoking his protection for
their children. This short monograph on the little church of Christ
the Saviour in Thessaloniki, is a brief account of the findings of
the archaeological excavation that was carried out as part of the
work of restoration of the damage caused during the 1978
earthquake. Special emphasis is placed on the iconographic and
stylistic analysis of the wall paintings of the monument. The
objective is to give prominence to the theological and artistic
value of this significant, though little known, Byzantine monument
in the second most important city of the Byzantine empire. Parallel
